San Diego State University realizes 50% energy improvement with GE lighting upgrade

GE’s Lumination

THE SITUATION

Founded in 1897, San Diego State University (SDSU) is a public research university with 34,000 students enrolled at its campus in San Diego, Calif. SDSU strives to be an environmentally responsible institution by

implementing programs “to increase its energy eciency, reduce its

water consumption and institute ‘green’ practices where possible.”

THE SOLUTION

™

SDSU enrolled GE’s Lumination

in three buildings on campus. The 2'x2' recessed LED troers were

installed in interactive classrooms in the Adams Humanities Building and in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies. The University also constructed a new 3,000-square-foot anatomy lab using GE’s LED fixture that produces a perfectly even glow when lit, but appears completely

free of a visible light source while o.

“ We’re seeing about a 50% energy improvement in rooms where we

replaced old uorescent xtures with Lumination LED troers for

classroom lighting. Students have also commented that the classrooms feel more open and spacious since the switch. Overall it was a hassle-free

transition from uorescent and something we hope to replicate in other

areas across campus in the years ahead.”

- Jerey Herr, San Diego State University Facility Services

GE’s Lumination LED Luminaires feature an ultra-thin prole, adding

beautiful ambient light to any space. LED recessed lighting troffers utilize Intrinsx™ technology to deliver exceptionally uniform light with

an exquisite balance of rened appearance and superior eiciency.
